We were so surprised on Friday the 12th to hear from Sawyer's NICU nurses that he would be coming home on Saturday! We had just been told Thursday night that it would be at least a few more days for him, so imagine our surprise when we were told we would finally get to take our little baby boy home with us a day later!
Michael and I were not prepared in the least. Because of Sawyer's itty bitty size, we were told we had to find a car seat that was no more than six inches between the lowest strap insert to the bottom where his tushy would sit. The car seat that we has just bought him did not fit, so we spent all of Friday night running from store to store to find a car seat that wold work! We seriously had the hardest time! It was ridiculous! All the car seats we found had seven inches are more between the two points! After a few hours and 3 stores, we finally found one at Target for 150.00! 150.00! And that is not even including a stroller! I couldn't believe it! SO, we bought the 150.00 car seat for our little man, as well as a play yard/bassinet for him to sleep in! Babies are NOT cheap!!! 30o.oo and some odd dollars later, we finally arrived home to get some sleep before bringing our Mister Man home on the morrow.
Here are some pictures from the BIG day:
